라살‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

This climb is incredible: it doesn't have any difficult gradients, but it's long, incredibly long, endless. You reach a point where you almost hate it: you've been pedaling for well over an hour and the summit is still out of sight, you're running out of energy and the wind keeps whipping you in the face, you want to throw your bike away and say, "Enough! I'll stop here!"... but it's only a moment, because you're the one who chose to tackle it and you knew exactly what you were getting into; you set off again with more determination than before and attack those last few kilometers of road with all your remaining strength. And then you enter the tunnel, there you begin to realize you've made it, you exit, follow the road that bends slightly to the left, and, as if in a dream, the lake appears. You reach the top and think about how many people have traveled this road over the centuries: Salassi, Romans, monks, migrants, Napoleonic soldiers... you realize you're in a place steeped in history and stunning nature, and there you can't help but love this hill.

Great view of the Mont Blanc massif. You can drive to the refuge.

The austere buildings of the hospice of the Great Saint Bernard are located in a rocky pass through which an icy wind almost always blows, on the edge of a lake that is frozen on average 265 days a year and where winter lasts almost eight months. For nine centuries, canons regular of the order of St. Augustine, who settled here through the help of St. Bernard of Menthon, have maintained a tradition of helpfulness and hospitality. Travelers who want to relax for a while in that peaceful place are welcome all year round.

Still one of the emblematic and popular passes of the region. This particular pass is often covered in snow in early summer, so use caution and make sure you are diligent in your planning. However, this pass provides an excellent and challenging climb, forming part of a very natural loop when included with two other passes in the area. As you pass over the pass, you'll experience brilliant panoramic views and a secluded mountain ambiance.

Segment from Rifugio Frassati (open only in summer) to Col de Malatrà.

Col de Malatrà, at an altitude of 2,925 metres, is an iconic place on the Alta Via of the Aosta Valley, with Mont Blanc standing out among the jagged rocks of the pass. For those who do the Tor des Géants, it represents the last great effort before the long descent towards Courmayeur. The terrain in this area is challenging and technical, but it is possible to hold on to the rope fixed to the rock to facilitate the passage.

This is a simple mountain pass, at an altitude of 2,435 metres, between Val Sapin and Comba d'Arminaz, a side valley of Val Ferret. The views over Val Veny, to the south, are breathtaking and you can see very far. From here, a short climb takes you to the top of the Tête de la Tronche.
